As we’ve discussed in a recent article, the U.S. and its Western allies deliberately created Al Qaeda to be a continuous factory of convenient enemies to give the West an excuse to topple Middle Eastern nations, paving the way for a super-regional Israeli kingdom and a decrease in America’s reign as super power. We encourage readers to read the following excellent article that goes into detail about regime change in Iraq going on this Summer of 2014…

The capture of Mosul and Tikrit, and the attack on Iraq by foreign fighters is not a result of the failure of US policy. These attacks are actually the implementation and persistence of US policy in the Middle East.

There are a lot of misleading messages being sent by Washington about the situation in Iraq. This is being done directly by the Obama Administration through misleading statements by US officials and via the dissemination of misleading reports by the US federal government’s trusty global chain of mainstream corporate media networks.

Deconstructing Washington’s false picture of Iraq

There are five main points that the US government and the corporate media should be challenged on.

Firstly, the attack on Iraq by the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS), which is more properly called the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), is not haphazard. The ISIS/ISIL brigades did not just appear out of thin air. These foreign fighters have been trained, funded, and armed by Washington and its allies.

It is true that the ISIL has taken advantage of the general weakness of Iraq’s political structures and government corruption. This point, however, is being used to whitewash how Washington has nurtured both the ISIL and corruption in Baghdad.

Secondly, the US government and its allies do not categorically oppose the ISIL attack on Iraq. They engineered the ISIL’s rise in multiple ways by keeping Iraq weak, by promoting sectarianism, and directly sustaining its development. In fact, the ISIL incursion into Iraq can be referred to as a US-manipulated invasion.

Thirdly, Washington is trying to make it look like it is cooperating with Tehran to stabilize Iraq. Although some level of cooperation or talks cannot be totally ruled out, it has to be emphasized that Washington and Tel Aviv would like to see Iraq used to destabilize Iran. By emphasizing and advertizing that it is cooperating with Iran, the US government wants to hide the US role in destabilizing Iraq as a means of destabilizing Iran, Syria, and the wider region. Moreover, the Iranian military and Iranian officials have dismissed Washington’s assertions of cooperation as false. In fact, Iranians officials have referred to the ISIL as the protégés of the US and Israel and Iran’s President Rouhani has diplomatically dismissed the notion of cooperation.
